“I’ve been stung by scorpions and it hurts like hell but I never thought to go to the doctor for it.”
_______________________________________________
I knew a British guy here that was stung (suspected scorpion).
He refused to have it treated and IIRC it continued to fester
for some weeks.
He then died, kidney failure, I think.
May, or may not have been related to the bite.
I would never take a chance with that kind of bite.
Different types of scorpions are around, and it also depends on the place you were stung. My husband was stung by one, but it did not need treatment. On the other hand, his bite by a brown recluse did have to be treated.
